The thing that bugs me about these plays is if you do all a foul the coach ALWAYS says, "It's a loose ball. There can't be a foul!!"

What pearls of wisdom do you all have for adjusting these plays properly and what do you say to coaches who think this?

I highly suggest that you take another look at the video. Blue is on her feet and running in a straight line toward the ball and has the more advantageous route and position relative to White as they both advance toward the ball. White dives and takes Blue's legs out from under her. Blocking or pushing foul on White.
